Falcon Lander – SpaceX edition – Simulation Game Review
Falcon Lander – SpaceX edition is a Simulation/Action/Entertainment game from Alexandr Peancovschi, first launched in 12th October 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 256+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Falcon Lander – SpaceX edition Stand Out
It is super hard to land a rocket on a platform in the middle of an ocean. Elon Musk has had to learn that the hard way, and now, you too can experience the crushing disappointment of trying to land the SpaceX Falcon 9 lander, thanks to this game (completely unaffiliated with SpaceX).
Yes, it is possible to land it!
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We think it would be so good if the rocket had more detail and had right colors and it would be cool if it had landings maybe u could add starship or new Glenn and a new map and some better graphics still a decent game tho.
We love space so this is the best game ever (other than sfs).
This is a great game! We LOVE the retro graphics style and concept. Its pretty well made! However, once youve landed enough, it gets monotonous. We would suggest other types of rockets (falcon heavy, etc), unlockable skins, and maybe challenge modes like time trials, fuel restrictions, different gravity, etc. Something to give the game some replayability. Other than that, great game.
It could use some work for example it could have new skins new challenges and maybe even new maps. But we love the theme of the game and how it has choices on how hard it can be. Overall the game is great, but we hope you take note to our suggestion and we also hope to see a future update.
This game is good and fun to play. It looks good and it is made well. Our only complaint is that there is an ad literally every two flights. The constant ads gets really annoying very fast. Otherwise good game.
The game is fun but SpaceX uses landing legs on their rockets so maybe you can ad retractable landing legs to the game.
Its to hard to land a rocket on extreme when you go so slow on landing it blows up.
Its a pretty ok app. Its really hard to land it, but once you do it like 3 or 4 times, then you can do it a lot. We wouldnt recommend this game if you dont have some experience landing rockets in other space games, but if you do, you should download it! Its really challenging.
Fun game, challenging and you can come up with youre own goals. Like time challenge or consistency.
This is a fun game. Would love to see an update maybe some new rocket designs ( starship) maybe a fairing catcher version.
In Elon we trust(its a fun game).
New version is a lot better. We like having difficulty options. Have landed on all but the extreme difficulty setting.
We enjoy the game, but we feel that the old texture was much better.
Please can You put better graphics and this game is so so so interesting.
This game is much less frustrating but we feel extreme isnt even as difficult as original difficulty also are rocket skins coming.
We enjoy for a quick pick-up game.
This game is fun and a good time killer, but its also very easy to get old. Developer did a very nice job with it dont get us wrong, there just isnt anything to do more than just landing.
Needs a way to give feedback on what is required to land the rocket. No matter how soft or straight we try to land it it explodes. Itd be nice to get some feedback on why the landing failed and what we need to improve. Im guessing it needs to be straight and slow but Im not sure.
So we realized that the payload fairing is still on the 1st stage… Maybe thats why we cant land? Other than that this is a very fun game, although it is hard to land a rocket you would continued to try and try and soon, land! Please make landing a bit easier though some people think its hard to land then just stop playing the game… But we still play it! We can tell that you have worked hard on the game and want to improve even more but people think its hard to land, we have had our fair share of landing but nothing close to how many times we have failed… Would love to help you develop this game, other than that have a nice day! And if you dont see us later, Good morning, good evening, and Goodnight.
Turns too fast and has high thrust could this be fixed please.
We landed it about 30 out of 600 and about 10 almost the bubble/sparks started to come from underneath the booom we messed up we took screen shots every land lol.
The game is so funny we just like to throw the stage in the oven or on the platform we love it.
After at least 150 tries, we somehow landed it!!! We never thought it was possible and this was a bs app but it is possible to land it.
We used to be a pro at landing this but with the physics update has made it near impossible to hover and perform smooth control of the booster. Having immense difficulty with this but we still enjoy it.
Ive had this game for a year now and we have not landed once. Please help us, ITS SO HARD (dont get this game if your are very inpatient).
We have not been able to land despite perfect landings.
Oh our god we were supposed to be working on thermochemistry but got hooked into this…. You owe us an A+.
Is there something Im doing wrong? Lol.
Falcon 9 is difficult to land but very addicting.
Great way to show of how the core stage of the falcon heavy landed.
100 crashs latter just one more time Very fun and addictive 10/10 ign.
We are really good at this game, we usually win 9/10 times. Maybe increase the difficulty in future updates.
SpaceX can land anywhere on the drone ship why cant you in this game? But we really do love the game.
We have not gotten it to land yet which makes us want to play this game even more.
It took a lot of work, but we finally landed it.
Please add autopilot. We need to know if it is possible to land this thing. Edit. Finally managed to land a few times. Can you not zero the fuel timer after landing. We are trying to beat our time.
Can you please put out a video of a successful landing because there are so many times where it seems like we do it perfectly but it tells us we failed Edit: Never mind we FINALLY DID IT AFTER 20 MINUTES OF TRYING.
Its a great simulation, but it isnt fun enough for us to give it 5 stars, it is too ridiculously hard. Maybe you could add some sort of Tricks and Tips menu.
After a day of playing we finally landed the falcon9.
Its hard to tell which crashes more, the booster or the app. Ive gotten pretty proficient at the game and land about once a day but the app crashes that extend outside of game play are really impeding our progress.
Delete the ads and make the asds moveable and Ill blog Ill give you more stars.
If they get rid of the ads this might be worth downloading.
We have landed the falcon so perfectly, wasnt even crooked. A perfect landing and yet it still counted it as a fail.
We were enjoying the game and didnt mind the ads too much until one came on with very loud music. No thank you. Im deleting the game. We wont stand to be abused like that.
The booster flame isn't centered and now there's full screen ads. Before the update we could get the rocket landed with the sparkles in the background but it would explode shortly after, but now we can't get it landed at all. App deleted.
Really fun game but the rocket is so hard to land sometimes we feel like it's easier to land the real thing.
Gotta give it a five star! It is super fun.
You will not regret this download.
Very, very difficult to land the rocket but possible, which makes it fun! Agree with the other review though it took a long time to land the rocket and when we did it was a little underwhelming which can easily be fixed with an update, but still a great, challenging game.
It's ridiculously hard to land the rocket, so we expected some sort of celebration or acknowledgement that we finally got it. It's just a bit underwhelming. Fun though.
